That does not seem to be supported by the evidence. Twitter becoming a fascist cess pit has not reduced the power of fascists. Hearing even a completely ridiculous idea (like "the moon is made of cheese") told in a joking manner leads people to think it is more plausible than they otherwise would: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_truth_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_truth_effect Deplatforming is effective at reducing radicalization: https://www-cs.stanford.edu/~diyiy/docs/jhaver-2021-deplatforming.pdf https://www-cs.stanford.edu/~diyiy/docs/jhaver-2021-deplatfo...

The problem here seems to be the income inequality & the power of money to win elections that give the uber-rich their disproportionate power.
